[QUOTE="Falconer, post: 129177, member: 1195"] Possibly good news, I reckon I was wrong about possums often having rabies.You scared me man! See notes below. It is VERY VERY rare for an opossum to carry the rabies virus. It has the most resistance to the virus of any mammal. You are more likely to encounter a rabid horse. yes, an opossum with rabies will die, but in the last ten days of its life, it would be contagious to humans. If you are bitten by an opossum, attempt to contain the animal, and call your animal control or other related agency. They can test the possum for rabies, so that you can be sure it isn't one of the rare ones who are not immune to the virus. This is the case for any animal bite.. including domestic animals like cats, dogs, and ferrets. for more information, go to the CDC website. [/QUOTE]
